The cryptocurrencies are referred
to as the digital cash. The cryptocurrencies is an online payment system and
digital currency that involves the encryption techniques for the generation and
regulation of currency units along. It also includes the funds' transfer
verification. Cryptocurrencies operate independently without connecting with
the central bank. The words blockchain and Bitcoin can confuse as it might be
used to refer any of the three parts of the concept that includes the client
and protocol that affect the transaction, the blockchain technology and the
actual cryptocurrencies that is the digital money. Moreover, these
terminologies can also be referred to the overall concept of cryptocurrencies.
It is similar to calling the Pay Pal as the Internet Pay Pal which is used to
run the operations of Pay Pal that is the Pay Pal currency transfer.
These terms are also used
interchangeably in the Cryptocurrencies industry because in the technology
stack the sector is still in the shaping process to become an established
layer. The Cryptocurrencies also referred to as the creation of reward as a
result of the computation processing work which is also known as mining. In
mining, the computing power of the users is offered for the verification and
record keeping of the payments in the public ledger. In exchange for newly
created Bitcoin and transaction fees, the companies or individuals are involved
in the mining. However, other than mining, the Cryptocurrencies can also be
acquired through the exchange of products, services and fiat money like any
other currency. Moreover, the Cryptocurrencies can receive and sent
electronically but with an optional transaction fee. The transactional fee paid
by using the wallet software on the web application, personal computer or
mobile device (Dhs.gov 2018).
Cryptocurrencies
in the future economy
The level of volatility is very
high for the most popular Cryptocurrencies. The cost of Cryptocurrencies is
pegged against the fiat currencies and precious metals. These projects will be
effective and promising only if the state institutions accept it and they are implemented
with the legal boundaries. Likewise, when the Cryptocurrencies fulfill these
criteria, it will be more successful and effective.
Furthermore, the CoinLoan will
use the Cryptocurrencies as the collateral and also allow the working with the
Cryptocurrencies similar to fiat funds.
The platforms like CoinLoan use the Cryptocurrencies to enables the
financial holders to acquire and save the virtual currency. Moreover, with the
development of these blockchain technologies, it is expected that the
non-competitive financial institutes offering higher rates of interest will be
forced out gradually (O'SULLIVAN 2018).
It is expected with the trend of
blockchain technology, and Cryptocurrencies will be fully developed positively
within the next 5-10 years. Following
this, more countries are accepted to legalize these digital currencies as well
as adopt the latest blockchain technologies in the accounting systems,
financial registers, real estate, medical, education, and other routine
processes. In this way, more transparent, safe and fully authorized
infrastructure will be established to make life more comfortable and
convenient. Following the potential of Cryptocurrencies, more companies and
start-ups prefer Initial Token Offering/ Initial Coin Offering (ITO, ICO) for
raising funds instead of conventional ways of initial public offerings
(IPO). In the comparison of IPO, ICO is
considered the more transparent, modern and fast method of transferring the
financial resources (Darlington 2014).
During the past year, an increase
of 13% has been witnessed in the total capitalization of Cryptocurrencies
market and the growth is continued. Following, the continuous growth of
Cryptocurrencies the interest is also increasing equally and therefore; they
are intended to make the considerable investment in Cryptocurrencies. In the
coming years, the secured assets of Cryptocurrencies are going to become an
integral part of the ecosystem of the crypto world similar to the real estate
collaterals. Moreover, the whole system of Cryptocurrencies is very convenient,
quick and profitable for the investors. Using the platform of CoinLoan the
holders of Cryptocurrencies can pursue everyday needs while living on the spot.
In this way, they don't have to sell these profitable investment assets even if
they need the money urgently.
Moreover, the Cryptocurrencies
can also be borrowed as the secure assets for up to 5years. However, according
to the trend, the cost of Cryptocurrencies will be increased during this time.
In this way, the loss of financial resources will be compensated that is
secured on the Cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the sale of crypto assets also
ensures higher profits for investors.
Following the growth potential of
digital currencies, the state's interest in the blockchain technologies has
increased considerably. In their regard, a real estate’s register has been
replaced by the blockchain in many countries. All the transaction of blockchain
is fully automated that makes it easier to evaluate these assets immediately (Ølnes and Jansen 2017).
Cryptocurrencies
impacts on financial industry
The Bitcoin has the revolutionary
potential. According to the vision of OG's Cryptocurrencies are accepted to
interest to financial institutes instead of modern replacement. In this
article, the author has discussed that the distributed ledger system has the
potential to handle the three main banking functions including clearing of
transfer, storage of physical money and loaning whereas, the banks can play a
more significant role of managing the financial industry based on
Cryptocurrencies. The Bitcoin cannot handle the very financial transaction
around the world and included it in the blockchain. Therefore, a more efficient
secondary level is required for the payment system. Hence, likewise, the
finalized time for the transaction time for Bitcoin will be imperial for the
large and medium value purchases. Therefore, this problem can be solved with
eth Bitcoin backed banks. They will play the same role the banks played before
currency nationalization. However, banks can be various police and varying
interest rates. Some of them can be 100% Bitcoin back, and the others can make
fractional reserve (Davidson, Filippi and Potts 2018).
Monetary control is the highest
value that is brought to the financial industry by the blockchain. With the
technological advancements, the dependency on the banks will be reduced to keep
your money save. With the blockchain, it is nearly impossible to hack or
manipulate as it stored the cash in the immutable ledger. Hence, while using
the blockchain technology, the investor has to focus on the open-source code of
the coin instead of any corruptible institute. Moreover, Cryptocurrencies
ensures that the no can free the funds of the investor or dictate them about
how to use the money. (Guo and Liang 2016). The Cryptocurrencies give full control to the
investors for their funds, wallets and private key and this control is
considered as the rule number one in the Cryptocurrencies.
Moreover, while using the
blockchain, no intermediary is required for any transaction. Following, its
positive impact the upcoming Cryptocurrencies are also committed to using this
feature. Moreover, the big plays of the industry including Litecoin and Bitcoin
are also conducting transactions without the middleman.
Lack of fess and almost immediate
time of the transaction of Nano, it has achieved some popularity. Instead of
using the typical blockchain Nano is using the directed acyclic graph
algorithm. Moreover, the increasing numbers of people also increased the
efficiency of the network. In peer-to-peer payments, the Cryptocurrencies might
have a favorable and positive future. Request Network is another project that
is expanding is operation beyond the peer-to-peer payments by using the
blockchain interface like Paypal. These platforms enable the users to acquire
the money transfer services without the third-party intermediaries. These
platforms have created a comprehensive mind map including all the possible ways
of changing the financial industry. The team of these platforms is intended to
fix payments, crowdfunding, and point-of-sale.
Most considerably the
Cryptocurrencies are intended to provide banking services without using the
banks. In this regard, the Cryptocurrencies will deliver these services up to 2
billion people on the global level (Iansiti and Lakhani 2017). The upcoming
Cryptocurrencies are intended to provide banking services to the unbanked
individual in a more affordable manner. In this regard, Steller enables the
financial institutes to offer low-cost accounts along with the most favorable
rates of interest. In this way, even in the developing countries, the business
owners will be able to get an easy loan. It will also stimulate the global
financial industry. However, the exchanging Cryptocurrencies are having
unwanted effects on the unbanked nations' financial sectors. For instance, the
initiative of improving and transforming the economic landscape of Uganda has
been announced by Finance. In the regard, Finance is intended to use blockchain
for providing youth employment opportunities in Uganda (Swan 2015).
